He reportedly pleaded with paramedics by saying: "Leave me alone and turn on the computer for me. I want to surf the Internet."

Excess, though, always lurks. So I find myself not merely choking on my allergies to hear that a 21-year-old Chinese man collapsed after 14-days deeply ensurfed in the Web.

The Telegraph translated a report in China's Anhui Business Review. The latter was adorned of a man prostrate and being wheeled by paramedics.
